Overall Satisfaction with Schoology

Schoology is being used by our entire organization in a variety of ways. We are using it to inform and educate our school community. It enables us to centralize information so that everyone has access. It also enables us to provide information in multiple languages, the primary languages being American Sign Language and English. It helps to streamline and organize the many facets of academic life; for students, for educators, and for parents.
  • Schoology has wonderful organizational features. The layout is easy to understand and almost everything can be color-coded.
  • Schoology has multiple ways to provide information such as updates, discussions, and media albums. You can also add files, links, and video/audio recordings made directly within the platform.
  • Schoology's calendar is user-friendly and any changes made from the administrative side are also changed for the members, keeping everyone updated in real time.
  • There are layers to the multiple features of Schoology. Something can seem so basic, but it's deceptively simple: there always seems to be more you can do with the information you're imparting, such as leveling the language for readers of different competencies.
  • At the moment, there are no notifications provided for Group Discussions, but it is something I know Schoology is working to fix.
  • Also at the moment, there is a limitation to how long a video file may be left unsubmitted within a Test/Quiz before it becomes corrupted and must be redone. Schoology is also aware of and working on this issue.
  • Schoology has facilitated greater ease of information flow. That's been the largest change within our establishment and it's a huge impact.
Schoology is the way to go for any academic setting. Even at the preschool level, there are ways to leverage the system so that both students and parents receive the full benefit of its features. It's most effective, I feel, at the middle school to high school level and even into higher education. Students have a better sense of technology by then and are able to utilize more features than those at the preschool or elementary levels.
